I see the Red Sox bouncing back after suffering a 2-1 extra inning loss to the Orioles on Saturday. Baltimore's most effective relief pitcher, Jorge Lopez, went two innings to get the win in that game. So don't expect Lopez to pitch in this game if needed.

Even with that victory, the Orioles are still only 18-37 during their past 55 home games.

The pitching matchup is Nick Pivetta versus Jordan Lyles. Pivetta is inconsistent. But he is 6-1 career-wise against Baltimore. Lyles is just plain bad. It's a mystery how he stays in a big league rotation. He has a 5.40 ERA this season.

The Orioles are likely to be missing Trey Mancini, who is dealing with bruised ribs. While the Red Sox are expected to get back slugger J.D. Martinez from a groin injury that has sidelined him for the past three games.
